:bnghd: 45 million on the voyage over? I'm not even going to start on the math on this one. Needless to say, the dead on those slave ships did not
outnumber the living. It all comes down to economics. Would you allow 3/4 of your merchandise to spoil on the way to its destination? Thats a good way
to lose money, not make it. The slavers were all about money, and any ship that would have allowed 3/4 of the slaves to die would have been sold into
slavery itself. If you got this from Zinn, its wrong, as are many statistics from that book. Just admit that you were wrong

I read the Americans and the Zinn book...in high school. They are exceedingly well written, contain a lot of information, and in the Zinn case at
least, have such a bias that what information it does have is almost unusable.

Did you read this book or just copy and paste from Amazon? Yet again Colonels posts are all hot air

Zinn's book may be heavily biases, but then again, so is any history book. Even what you see on history channel is heavily biased.

Yeah, it does come down to economics. Slaves were so valuable that it was worth the lose---ALL THIS IS EXPALINED IN THE BOOK.

This is pointless. You're just using this as just an inane excuse so that you don't have to read. You refute every point with something made up with
no facts so you don't have to read the book because it doesn't have pictures.
